Bereavement Group: Pastor Brian will be leading a bereavement group on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month. The next meetings will be December 11. There will be no meeting December 25th. The group will meet at 2:00 p.m. at The Residence at Brookside located at 117 Simsbury Road in Avon.​Dining for Women: This program meets once a month to raise funds and support programs that help disadvantaged women. The goal of this organization is to “educate girls, teach women a skill, help develop markets for their products, and fight the prevalent gender inequality in the world. We give a hand up, not a hand out. Dining for Women celebrates the power of the individual to see an injustice and act to change it; to see need and act to fill it. Dining for Women’s members are deeply involved in the programs we support and the problems we seek to address. Our education component is equally as important as our fundraising.”​​​Please contact Susan Lane at (860)675-8664 or selinavon@aol.com for details.
